I am getting tired of hearing about copyrights. Every other year there is always something else trying make copyrighting worse than it needs to be. First it was the DMCA, now some other law on top of that. Now this crap! What's next? Will we need a computer license to use a computer?? Remember this, a computer is NOT a HAM RADIO! Somebody always wants to play FCC regulation games with us. People need to wake the hell up and oppose this!
